Yes, when in pupmode 13 and it was trying to save, it appeared to be making a copy of everything, if only b/c all the folders in root and above were suddenly in bold text, puppy's signal that changes have been made.

But it never finished the save properly and remembered very little of what I had asked it to save.

Recently set this up using Slacko 5.5. Using ext3 could not get desktop to initialise. Ext2 is fine.

Might have been something changed in woof. I can't see any kernel based reason (off the top of my head). Besides, ext2 is probably better for USB anyway.

What needs to happen though is more support in woof for F2FS, which is in the latest 3.8 kernels and above and designed for nand media. It's way faster than any other filesystem and pretty stable too. If you want to try it get either PHATSlacko, ThinSlacko or pemasu's latest upups. Idealy, when F2FS becomes the standard, we can toss out restricted saving. I'm not so sure it matters anyway, as I have an old (6 yo) kingston 1 GB drive that has been formatted a thousand times with different pups and filesystems and it doesn't look like failing. Of course it will one day when least expected, but who uses flash for mission critical anyway? It's more of a convenience._________________Puppy Linux Blog - contact me for access

With regard to speed, startup is a little slower than a HD install but I think that's down to USB bus speed._________________Spup Frugal HD and USB

I came across an interesting issue with this. The edit process does not work cross Puppy versions. Thus, if I want to edit init for booting Precise, I must do the edit process from within Precise, not say Slacko, and vise versa.

Very interesting ! on test bench.
All my moves and acts are permanently recorded on flash drive. Well, i shall come back and give you the return.

As a progress never goes alone, i am translating your topic to french with Precord.
Unfortunately, the MP3s are more than 250 K, i must adjust my recording time and set audio as mono.
Mp3 then are included in tar.gz to be joined in the forum to the english written topic.

Suspense, initrd.gz permuté, poweroff. A tout de suite._________________Passenger Pelo ! don't ask him to repair the aircraft. Don't use him as a demining dog .... pleeease.
